Any long time terrans want to comment? Or are you used to your current stuff. Gronoria if you see this, comments would be appreciated.

Well there should be a decent one ... Miners have 2 good SB`s, virals still have the awesomeness of chiron, collectives have MoW which seems decent (I don`t understand the change in this case).

I still remember when the scorpion came out, and being chuckled at how lacking in awesomeness it was.

Just thoughts: Terrans had their build rates severely cut (herc and nirv cut). So how about decent build rate, decent ships?

Chimaera take two:
Weapon [slightly under 0.5-1]
Energy 8000 [vs a pitiful 2000]
Kinetic 16000 [vs 4k]
Hull 50000 [vs 80000]
Range 7
Pr 50431 [current]

Mods (upped it`s strengths a little, and increased it`s weaknesses. Bear in mind I cut out a chunk of the hull
+45 / +50 / -30 / -45
vs original of
(+35 / +40/ -25 / -30)

This should probably stand up capitals like nirv/pyth. Doesn`t do so well vs missiles. But it should stand up to something. Currently pretty much anything is fine to take down the terran SB`s.

Scorpion take two:
Again, the current awesomeness of this ship is astounding ...
My suggestion is a smaller-build rate, but a strafez killer.

Weapon: total 14k
Energy 1750 [vs 1000]
Kinetic 1750 [vs 1000]
Missile 10500 [vs 6000]

Hull 50000 [similar hull:pr as now]
Range 7 still
Pr 35606 [dropped down from 73606, but you`re getting a lot more bang for your buck]

Build rate of 1 still

mods unchanged at 20/-60/40/20

Terran ships own, Terran sbs are sad, useless pieces of shrapnel. Change would be nice, just don`t forget that they are to be weaker than the A.Miner bases as that is miners specialty. :P

Arch`s brain for President!!!

Seriously, the Terran SB`s are just pathetic. It`s like the starbase engineers built them wrong on purpose, as a joke. Any improvement would be welcomed. I understand that they don`t have to be as stellar as the A.Miner bases, but at least give us something we are tempted to use and expect not to get pwned. Let`s give it a whirl and see what people think when they are actually used.

I agree with Archy

Ever since I started playing this game a little more than a year ago I have wondered why the terran starbases are so horrible compared to all other races. Maybe the suggested weapons are a bit too high, but at least a step in the right direction.

Good suggestion!

Won`t happen. Period. Don`t bother :P

I personally am against high-range SB`s. I don`t like the miner range now, and I certainly didn`t like when chirons were range 9.

It`d probably be okay, but for a range 8 (or more!?), I would remove the kinetic attack (maybe shift it over to either energy or missile), and drop the hull down to 40k.

Definitely never any no-retal features.

here`s the funny thing about Scorpie`s missiles range... since it`s a platform, it can`t have a better range than P.class ships... i`m saying this frm defensive view... i feel the range should be upgraded since by right, a platform starbase can mount bigger missiles for longer range...
